Identify the amount or decision in dispute and the reasons you disagree.
02
Build the response
Organize relevant records and explanations to support the agreed objection work.
03
Understand the next stage
Discuss the CRA response and whether further assistance or legal advice is needed.

FAQS
Common questions.
How long do I have to respond?
Deadlines vary by tax type and circumstances. Contact us promptly with the notice so the applicable deadline can be checked.
Is an objection the same as a court appeal?
No. An objection is a CRA review process. A court appeal is a separate stage with its own requirements. The appropriate support needs to be agreed for that stage.
What if the deadline may have passed?
Tell us immediately. Whether an extension or another option is available depends on the facts and applicable rules.
